Ferroni Foursquare 2012

What catches people off guard here is the intensity — same familiar Foursquare coconut, vanilla and young oak, but Ferroni cranks it up. Cask strength at 63.4% means the alcohol isn't fully tucked in, so a few drops of water help. Creamy, peppery, with brown sugar and a light toasted-chocolate finish. Several tasters hint at a wine cask finish adding tannin and depth.

How does Ferroni Foursquare 2012 taste?

Summarized by AI from 23 community reviews.

Intense, creamy coconut-vanilla Foursquare at cask strength A well-liked, very typical Foursquare turned up loud. Most find it creamy, spicy and easy to drink despite the strength — though the alcohol isn't perfectly integrated.

Today a comparison between two Foursquare: 1. Sample X (Kintra) Single Cask, 59.8%: A decent Foursquare. Easy sipper with the known typical Foursquare aromas. 2. Ferroni Barbados 2012 63.4%: Typical Ferroni, very intense. Everything you also have in the previously mentioned Foursquare aromas is here too, just much more intense. Unfortunately, the alcohol is not very well integrated, but this one is still fun.

A Foursquare framework as we surely know, softened with this finish. Very pleasant to drink!

A very good Foursquare. On the nose, we find all the classic notes of this distillery, i.e. wood (but rather young), coconut, almond, etc... On the palate, on the other hand, we can appreciate Ferroni's finish a little more, with infinite creaminess, wood that's still present in shavings but not overpowering, superb smokiness and a gourmet waxiness. In my opinion, the bourbon and rasteau add a little tannin and body, which is really very good, even if the finish is a little less gourmand.
